LAST MEETING

October 17, 2007: Luxembourg 0-2 Romania

Romania: Pantilimon; Rapa; Tamas, Goian, Rat; Torje, Alexa, Florescu, Deac; Marica, Mutu

Prediction
Romania have too much firepower upfront for Luxembourg to handle and should pick up their first win of the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign against the perennial European doormats.
Romania 2-0 Luxembourg
